In addition to the IF and DSP noise blankers, the K3 incorporates a third feature to help deal with impulse noise.
One of the AGC parameters is CONFIG: AGC PLS. "nor" is used to activate a fast-reovery AGC algorithm if the signal that activated the AGC is above a certain dynamic threshold and lasts for less than a specific time. "OFF" allows the AGC to be "pumped" by pulse-type noise. Like any system that deals with suppressing pulse noise, the overall receiver gain is being quickly modified, so there may be IMD or other effects. 73, Lyle KK7P ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
